The apartment is right around the corner from a wonderful coffee shop/bakeshop (Sassafras's), you can see the park and lake from the front porch, which has nice furniture, and everything was very clean and pleasant. Bring your own wastebasket bags, and don't expect amazing televisions, but we very much enjoyed our stay. Pretty, convenient, walkable neighborhood, very clean, and extra comfortable!

Updated living in the middle of town.

This location was absolutely perfect for our two day stay in Green Lake. Walking distance to everything, drinks on the porch in the morning and evening, and the most cozy rental around. We will return for many more stays in the future.

We had a great time! The hosts are amazing! The place was so cute! They paid great attention to details-small welcome gift, water in the fridge, robes to use, suggestions on where to eat/drink, etc. This place was also the perfect location, that is in walking distance to cute shops, the lake and more!

Perfect spot to stay in Green Lake

We had an amazing stay in Green Lake. The apartment was clean and so tastefully decorated, as well as offering all of our essential needs: a comfortable bed with lots of extra pillows and blankets, a large shower, a spacious kitchen with all we needed to take care of our culinary needs. The location was perfect too and we saw our super friendly hosts for a minute and they gave us great suggestions on local things to do! Overall: fabulous

Amazing Place

This was perfectly located and perfectly appointed. My two teenage sons and I slept very comfortably. For sharing a bathroom I personally would have enjoyed an additional mirror and that is my only "note". Loved it.

Most Relaxing Stay

This immaculate, well-appointed apartment is perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Green Lake, one block from the lake itself. The hosts, Kim and Craig, have set up everything needed for a relaxing getaway, including a wonderful kitchen for when you want to eat in. Somehow, even while being situated steps away from shopping, dining, and the water, the energy is calm and laid-back, perfect for slow mornings drinking coffee on the porch. We loved our stay, and we can’t wait to come back!

Come find out what Green Lake has to offer - it's one of the best kept secrets. I look forward to hosting you!

Our families love for this little town found us wanting to help in making it better -we bought the building at the end of 2020 and just finishing up refurbishing it - it is in the perfect location to be apart of all the things that go on in town.
